How does the County’s Inclusionary Housing Policy (IHP) work?

The Inclusionary Housing Program (IHP) is intended to provide more affordable housing throughout the County. Many new housing projects proposing to build five or more housing units are subject to the requirements of the program, whereby a portion of the new housing built thorough these projects must be sold or rented at affordable levels. In addition, land owners can choose alternative options in lieu of providing this affordable housing onsite. These include donating land to the County which can be used for the future development of affordable housing, or paying fees to the County which can be used to finance other affordable housing projects. Many housing types, including 100% rental projects, are exempt from the the IHP.
